Imagine

Дата на издаване: 2018-10-05
Universal Music Group празнува върха на соловата кариера на легендарния музикант John Lennon с поредица от аудио версии на най-забележителния му солов албум - "Imagine".
Изданието "Imagine – The Ultimate Collection" обединява ремиксирани и ремастерирани версии на 140 от най-прочутите песни на Lennon. Колекцията включва четворен CD комплект и две Blu-Ray издания и тази уникална разширена версия на албума предлага на слушателите разнообразие от музикални преживявания, които са едновременно потапящи и интимни, вариращи от чисто нови версии на песните до сурови студийни записи. Сред песните в колекцията са редки и неиздавани до момента демо записи, както и The Evolution Documentary - уникален аудио монтаж, който детайлизира историята на всяка една песен - от демо записа до финалната й мастерираната версия.

Останалите нови версии на албума "Imagine" са във формат стандартно CD, двойно CD и двоен винил.

"Албумът "Imagine" е създаден с огромна любов и грижа към децата на света. Надявам се да Ви хареса.", споделя спътницата на John - Yoko Ono Lennon в предговора на книгата от 120 страници, която придружава колекцията "Imagine – The Ultimate Collection".

В деня на премиерата на ремастерираните версии на "Imagine" излизат и два филма за John и Yoko - "Imagine" и "Gimme Some Truth" във формат DVD. И двата филма са възстановени ръчно от оригиналните филмови ролки и са ремастерирани в HD формат, а саундтрак музиката към тях е ремастерирана чрез съвременни методи от четирикратния носител на ГРАМИ - Paul Hicks. Филмовите продукции включват непоказвани до момента кадри, както и неиздавани сурови студийни записи и надникване зад кулисите на очарователна фотосесия, дело на David Bailey.
